The Exhibition: Our Soil, Beyond Materiality
This isn’t a typical art show. Our Soil, Beyond Materiality merges scientific research with creative expression to reveal how soil health connects to human health, community resilience, and Caribbean identity. Participants will have a guided tour of the exhibition by our Education Assistant.

Inspired by the themes explored in the current exhibition, participants will investigate the remarkable diversity of soils and discover how characteristics such as color, texture, and structure help scientists classify them. Through hands-on experimentation, adults will extract natural pigments from soils. Participants will then transform these earth-derived materials into unique watercolor paintings, connecting scientific inquiry with creative expression and deepening their appreciation for the vital role soils play in our ecosystems.

Join us Friday, August 21 from 6–8 PM at CMCArts and explore Our Soil Beyond Materiality Exhibition and get inspired to create your own artwork.

Free Flow is designed to unleash your inner creator. Bring your own art supplies or utilize what we have available (watercolor paints, pencils, paint pens, embroidery materials) for free!

For this August edition, unwind and create in our courtyard under our tent. Please enter 62 King Street.
